I think people do understand where food comes from but they don't worry about it. It's cheap and plentiful.Farmers are feeding people at discounted prices. Rewilders are producing ?? This is the disconnect that is the UK today people don’t actually understand that farmers produce food and that supermarkets sell that food, the vast majority think it begins and ends with the supermarkets.
No farmer would voluntarily give up land for rewilding or anything else if there was good money to be made from farming it. It seems that poor returns are the main driver of this.
I don't accept that people turning farmland over to nature are doing it for money. The returns, if any will almost guaranteed to be lower.
